Raw Material Staging

The SherpaLoader® offers maximum flexibility in the staging of blanks
— whether for small quantities or large series, tiny or lightweight workpieces, or large and heavy parts.

Small Batches: Table Trolleys

For small parts or low quantities, carts offer the ideal solution, providing 1.2 sqm of storage space.

Medium Batches: SpaceBox

SpaceBoxes extend manless production time! Each SpaceBox offers up to 6 sqm of storage, two SpaceBoxes fit in a single robot cell. On 12 sqm there is space for 3,000 small parts.

Heavy Workpieces: Pallets

The SherpaLoader® can handle heavy raw materials directly from pallets, loading and unloading them back onto the pallet after machining. Two Euro pallets (standard size 1,200 x 800 mm) are used for material staging.

Stacked Workpieces

The powerful 3D camera and laser system can detect stacked workpieces on pallets and carts.
